Simple ones[edit]

Simple but more than one conjugated C=C bond[edit]

Others[edit]

Benzaldehydes[edit]

Phenolic aldehydes[edit]

Benzaldehydes where one or more of the substituents on the benzene ring is an OH group

Others[edit]

O=C—CHO[edit]

N—CHO: formamides[edit]

Formamides are not really aldehydes. They're amides.

Dialdehydes[edit]

Two CHO groups separated by alkane chain[edit]

Two CHO groups separated by a non-alkane chain[edit]

  • Glucic acid - n = 3, 2-hydroxymalondialdehyde, OHC—CH(OH)—CHO
  • Polygodial - all hydrocarbon except the two formyl groups

Both CHO groups bonded to a benzene ring[edit]
